CREATION JUSTICE BLOG
Pittsboro Presbyterian Church
WELCOME to the Creation Justice blog, managed by the Creation Justice Team of Pittsboro Presbyterian Church. We are a small group with a BIG concern about the fate of all God’s creatures, great and small, in this new era of human domination of our common home, planet Earth.
The Giving Tree

Where’s the BEEF?
During the ‘hamburger wars’ of the mid 1980’s, Wendy’s panned its competitors’ puny burgers with what would become an iconic slogan, “Where’s the beef?” Dave Thomas claimed his ‘Old Fashioned Hamburgers’ had more beef than McDonald’s or Burger King. Now four decades...
‘Big Ag’: Feeding the Climate Crisis while Starving the Future
Today is Febuary 2, ‘Groundhog Day.’ But after 22 years on the job, our local groundhog prognosticator, ‘Sir Walter Wally,’ is nowhere to be seen. He has decided to pack it in and retire. Impeccable timing, I’d say. It’s a miserable day, cold and rainy. I wouldn’t...

A Rachel Carson Moment

One of These Things
"One of these things is not like the others, One of these things just doesn't belong, Can you tell which thing is not like the others By the time I finish my song?" [lyrics from a Sesame Street song – One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others)] There are certain...
